The bloodlettings in the name of religion are an ugly but inseparable part of human history. Rulers often tended to launch their war adventures under holier captions in an effort to persuade people that their wars are for the nourishment of religion and to seek God’s pleasure. Sometimes they presented themselves as sons of a demigod or God’s chosen. While doing this they were supported by most of the clergy and religious groups. This book fictionalizes such historical bloodlettings in the name of religion.
